Dane Cook- Rough Around the Edges

Dane Cook's new one isn't great.

Hell i didn't think Vicious Circle was that amazing. But for some reason people love him, like....really love this guy; so i keep coming back hoping for more.

Let me start this review by stating my philosophy on Mr. Cook:

"Dane Cook is good for quoting, and not much else."

That said, Rough Around the Edges was recorded in Madison Square Garden in front of what sounds like a billion 14 year old girls and guys who still hi-five. Dane does all new material as far as i can tell, but if you have heard him once you can hear him again. His act continues to center around "you know when situations" with added sound effects and, I'm sure, facial expressions. It is great escapist material, which given the current political condition, is probably why he is thriving.

The jokes are fine, and its good for a little chuckle, but honestly there is better stand up out there today. Go buy Jim Gaffigan's new one or look into Daniel Tosh, both are smarter and have a little more re-listen value.
